Erica rushed forward and said, "Barton, you're here just in time. I need to ask you something."
Barton cut her off. "Mr. Andrew Potter's condition has suddenly worsened. It's very serious right now. Please come back with me immediately."
"What?" Debra exclaimed. "He was fine yesterday."
An image of the previous day suddenly popped into her mind. Jordan had gone into Andrew's room right after she left.
"Do you know about this?" Debra asked. "Jordan is the new president of the Lowe Group?"
Barton, as Andrew's trusted aide, was supposed to know if this was part of Andrew's plan.
"What?" Barton was puzzled. "Mr. Jordan Potter?"
Debra decided to go upstairs to confront Jordan. Erica quickly reached out to stop her.
"Where are you going? Didn't you just say we can't go up there earlier?"
"I have to go and ask him. What is he doing? Betraying the family?"
"Betrayal it is," Liza chimed in. "I'm going with you."
She grabbed Debra's arm and rushed up the stairs.
The guards immediately stepped in to block their way.
"Got it." Debra rushed away without hesitation.
By the time she reached the second floor, the remaining guards had lined up in the hallway.
"Jordan, come out!" she shouted.
Jordan pushed aside the guards and stepped forward. His looks were so familiar yet so distant.
Debra had so many questions to ask him, but in the end, only one word came out of her mouth. "Why?"
Jordan shrugged. "People strive to move upward. The Four Great Families are history."
